What movie did you watch last night? (19 Viewers)

[Theseus Mock]

Amanda Knox: the Netflix documentary. Good overview of the court case, I can definitely see how she was found guilty initially, she came across as an unremorseful oddball. That Daily Mail journalist, what a dick.

Where To Invade Next. Good watch, educating and entertaining enough to keep the young lads engaged for 2 hours too.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Do The Right Thing - absolutely brilliant

Suicide Squad - utter shite, but still better than Batman vs Superman

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Also re-watched it Follows. I think this film was overrated at the time of release. The first half is really good - great use of wide angle lenses a la Carpenter, autumnal suburban streets and a killer score. It really falls apart at the halfway point and the climax is shit.

Watched Mud again yesterday afternoon. Still holds up to a repeat viewing. The kids are great and I appreciated some of the minor characters a bit more too. Had forgotten that the great Sarah Paulson was in it

Yeah, it's an excellent flick that stands up to repeat viewings, as do all Jeff Nichols's films. Sarah Paulson is in my top 5 actors working today.

I watched My Scientology Movie. I loved it. It's a perfect mix of his Weird Weekends style and his more serious reportage of late. If you're a fan you'll love it, if you find him an insufferable git then it's not going to win you over.

My Girl. I'd never seen it before. Paper thin characters portrayed with ridiculously wooden over-acting from almost everyone on screen. But then shit gets real and they 100% nail the grieving and the anger and the pain. A tough one for kids to watch.

 

[Anthony]

The Nice Guys or what ever the fuck it's called. What a load of shite.

hahaha, it was alright. ryan gosling is good at physical comedy. it pales in comparison to the buddy comedy thrillers of the 80s such as lethal weapon, 48 hours, midnight run etc..

Also not a patch on Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Also not a patch on Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

that's a terrific film

 

[Anthony]

Nah, that Ryan Gosling character didn't know what it wanted to be. The whole film was a mess. The quips between the two lads were useless and a total pandering to modern rubbish comedy films. 45 minutes too long, probably more.

 

[pete]

It was deadly. You're mad.

 

[Unicron]

Popstar, never stop never stopping.

Quite liked this. There was a lot of misses with the gags but when they landed they were very good.

Epic fantasy thing with the guy who played Hercules and Tia Carrere. The main plot revolves around a struggle for the throne. There are supernatural forces at play including a weird sorcerer that has a cool non human henchman.
The soundtrack has some metal riffing during some of the action scenes which I thought seemed bizarrely out of place.
Overall a bit ridiculous kind of bad in a good way but fairly bad.

 

[Splunk]

Captain Fantastic

Excellent drama, very funny . I think this might be my favorite film of the year so far. Hippy Hipsterism extremis

 

[Unicron]

American Honey. A bit long, could have used an edit. But enjoyable.

The aspect ratio was basically a box which was unusual

 

[Theseus Mock]

Trolls: Fun songs & great CGI hair.

Standard old 4:3 ratio
